I complain about the way newbies are perceived in the forum as bounty hunters and spammers. And it is newbies like you who give us a bad name. Every topic by a newbie is connected to campaign or merit. There are good opportunities here other campaigns.
This is what newbies mostly ask after creating a new account in this forum about how to earn merits, how to rank up. My guess is that they are introduced to bitcointalk forum that the forum generates a bitcoin and reward it to the participants which is not. This may be harsh but it's true and this forum is not entirely made for earning but for learning and sharing.
